QUARANTINE JAM - prize of 100€ and more! » Community

Viewing post in Questions about the Jam + 1 Suggestion.

Opinion: I think that no one better than the participants (valid and not just registered) to judge or winner. It is valid sponsors can also vote.

- The only candidates for voting may include: Participants cannot vote for their own games.

I believe that, in order to verify the authenticity or whatever the reason, only the [winner] must present its source code showing the author and owner of the game, there is no reason to expose the code of all others just for having participated.

One question: after the 6th, how long does it take to play the animated games? ... and when will the voting day be?

I disagree with your opinion but I want to explain why.

If someone is going for the cash prize.. nothing stops them to just vote all of the other games with a 1 in every category even tho they can't vote for their own... or even worse don't vote at all? That means that the results would not be "honest" anyway.

Or what would happen if someone would make friends join the jam just for the voting even tho they're not going to actually submit or they submit some piece of trash?

I have already seen this happen in jams with no money at stake so...

When money is at stake the only "above the parts" opinion is the one of the guy (guys) putting the money in because it's in his(their) best interest to give those money to who deserves it since they're putting those in.

I didn't see the "categories" part of the rules, so I thought that each participating team, voting only once, in a game (other than their own), seemed fair. - If we have 50 games registered and 5 sponsors, it would be (50 + 5) votes to be distributed among the participants - The most voted, wins.

But I think it is better to wait for the responsible person's opinion: "Rodrigo Antunes" =)

Even if there're not categories.. the worst case shenario would be someone having friends joining them jam so that they can vote 1 to all games but his own.. then the results would just be trashy :)

And yeah I agree in waiting for his opinion :)

Ok... I understand your point of view.
